| Identity | card A Russian wallet, funded by Russian rails; after the licence revocation the funding path itself is closed. |
| Limits |
The wallet brand later moved to a new domain (qiwiwall) per RIA, but a moved brand is not a working top-up rail for a foreign buyer. |
| Binding | write-gated No quota applies: the rail is closed. Any service that lists QIWI today is listing a payment method a buyer cannot fund. |
| Interface | unknown Was a wallet app and a merchant payment form; as of 2024-02-21 top-ups and withdrawals stopped after the banking licence was revoked. |
| Tooling | None usable for a new payment. |
| Composes with | Several CIS services still list 'QIWI' among their payment methods (Megaseed.kz lists QIWI KZT and QIWI RUB Turbobit's reseller directory lists Qiwi). Those listings are stale: the rail stopped working in Russia on 2024-02-21. |
| Reliability | Funds in QIWI wallets were not covered by deposit insurance and claims go into the third creditor queue, per the DIA procedure reported in 2024. |
| Notes | A dead rail, recorded because a reader will otherwise treat 'QIWI accepted' on a provider page as a working payment option. The rule this establishes: a payment method listed by a CIS service is a claim about the past, and must be checked against the rail's own status. QIWI KZT may still work in Kazakhstan; nothing was found either way, so the record does not claim it. |
| Evidence rung | documented The licence revocation and the stopped top-up/withdrawal are quoted from Interfax-Russia's report of 2024-02-21, read today. The later domain move is a RIA headline seen in search, not read in full. Evidence dates normalised to the read date on 2026-10-23; a source that carries its own date keeps it in the proved field. |
| Checked | 2026-10-24 (live); stale on 2026-11-23 |
